"Obama was working with Arab intermediaries to establish an unofficial dialogue with Al Qaida long before his election as the 44th U.S. president, according to a report in the upcoming weekly edition of Geostrategy-Direct.com. ShareThis

Al Qaida has offered what has been described as a truce in exchange for a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to the report."

(snip)

"The president has been aided by several Persian Gulf Arab Muslims with ties to Al Qaida's leadership in Pakistan, they said."

[penelopesire]

OMG! Someone just posted this link over at the Mark Levin Thread.

Has it been posted yet? I did a search and didn't find it!

[NinoFan]

Ugh. Figures Obama would do something like this.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

“”Obama was working with Arab intermediaries to establish an unofficial dialogue with Al Qaida long before his election as the 44th U.S. president, ....”

Isn’t this illegal? Does anyone care?

[NinoFan]

It’s OK if you’re a Democrat apparently

[Jeb21]

WHAT?! I knew Osamabama hated America, but I didn't know he was actually TALKING WITH AL-QAIDA EVEN BEFORE HE WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT. This is treason.

[P-Marlowe]

Isn’t this illegal? Does anyone care?

Yes. No.

[johncocktoasten]

Yeah, if this story were proven true, it would normally result in the practical end of his presidency. He would lose all political clout, kind of like his governor Mr. Blago.

[Ben Mugged]

The etymology of the word traitor originates with Judas’ handing over of Jesus to the Roman authorities: the word is derived from the Latin traditorem which means “one who delivers.” Obama will deliver Al Queds the reprive they need to rearm and gain additional followers. He again only moves the problem downstream rather than solving it now.

HAT-TIP TO freeper SONO FOR THE LINK on the Mark Levin Thread!

Can you believe it?

I mean, most freepers will believe it...but what will the country think?

Isn’t it illegal?

[snowsislander]

If true, it’s not surprising given Mr. Obama’s history.

[darkwing104]

Al Qaida has offered what has been described as a truce in exchange for a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to the report."

If true, he just have thrown Afghanistan under the bus. Does the morOn(e) know that Muslins never honor truces.

[diefree]

Pardon my ignorance but I’ve never heard of this newspaper. Is it a reliable source?

[Tenniel2]

It appears to be a violation of the Logan Act.

For precedents in prosecution of the offenders, see the (non-)cases of J. Fonda, J.F. Kerry, J.D. Rockefeller IV, H. Reid, and N. Pelosi.

[jennyjenny]

Ummmmmm, couldn’t he get in pretty big trouble for that?

[penelopesire]

Honestly...I don’t have a clue.

[Islander7]

Isn’t it illegal?

Damn right!

[HollyB]

At this point, I think the rest of the country will be applauding and not looking at Obama’s actions before he was even elected, really. This is where their mind is. And even worse - they’ll believe AQ’s wants a truce.

[cups]

LMFAO, yeah right. He could outright sell infromation to Al Qaeda and nothign would happen.

[SERKIT]

No wonder Barry wants Gitmo closed - he should be in it now!

[diefree]

I ask because I’d like to post it somewhere else.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

When will Lord Obama (PBUH) declare the Caliphate?

[tomnbeverly]

Based on all this kind of change he is making, If Americans are killed by an Al-Qaida attack on the homeland he will be complicit in the murders.

[combat_boots]

zbignew. Syria. And that word again...Pakistan.

Mubai, anyone?

[penelopesire]

Can you believe it?

I am stunned he has been this blatant(if true)!

Wonder if he used Eric Holder’s contacts with AQ too..you know.. since Holder’s law firm represents so many Gitmo terrorists! (eye roll)

[combat_boots]

ummmm.

Mumbai.

Bombay. Whatever.

[tx_eggman]

If this is true, he commited a crime ..

18 U.S.C. Section 953

Sec. 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

[penelopesire]

Mark Steyn has been a columnist there..they look pretty legit to me so far.

[denydenydeny]

If we’re pretending that the Logan Act doesn’t exist, can I pretend that the 16th Amendment doesn’t exist?

[KevinDavis]

Is the source legit????

[penelopesire]

“No wonder Barry wants Gitmo closed - he should be in it now!”

Can’t help but LOL at that comment!

[penelopesire]

Looks pretty legit to me. Honestly..I don’t know for sure yet...but it was so explosive..I had to post it!

[Madame Dufarge]

Wes Pruden and Mark Steyn are among their columnists.

[penelopesire]

But who will ‘prosecute’ him if true?

He is the PREZ now!

[diefree]

good enough. thanks.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

this is illegal and it was given no press and a pass by the MSM i just can’t remember the specific law that pertains to this but ofreako’s been in the bag with them for more than 2 years or so.

[Two Thirds Vote Aye]

May he commit treason and be found guilty.

[penelopesire]

Solid folks for sure. Just because the news source ‘leans’ our way...doesn’t mean it not’s true!

Hell...the whole MSM is in the tank for Obama and they print lies everyday!

Are Freepers now going to question a source because it comes from the right and not the left?

LOL..I hope not!

[gidget7]

This doesn't surprise me one bit. Nor would it surprise to to find the house leadership (barf) complicit in this. It seems to me I remember some talk of his visits to some of these Arab countries, but I couldn't tell you where or when. The man is a usurper, who had no business running never mind winning. And his speaking on Arab television, as well as what he said there should be evidence to everyone that he is NOT interested in what is best for this country, nor it's citizens.

[BlackjackPershing]

Yeah, the silent suck and now the out loud suck of the Moslem world.

[SVTCobra03]

If the POTUS is impeached for treason is his only punishment removal from office?

[jersey117]

OMG! is right. He’s been bargaining with our enemy? Now the whole arab news interview makes sense. This guy is scarier than AQ.

[penelopesire]

If this turns out to be true..it will bring Obama down!

Or at least it should in a normal world!

[penelopesire]

Not sure.

[autumnraine]

“Al Qaida has offered what has been described as a truce in exchange for a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to the report.” “

Um, I thought his big grand plan was to INCREASE military in Afghanistan, not withdraw.

[diefree]

My problem is that I had never heard of them, and I really read a lot of newspapers and blogs.

[jersey117]

He will deny, deny, deny. We need solid proof. The media re-made this guy’s whole image. I think our first impressions if him were right on.

[traditional1]

First thing that comes to mind is that when your country is at war with a particular opponent, isn't it Treasonous to go secretly and negotiate with them?

If this was Dick Cheney or GWB, what would the MSM be saying?

[penelopesire]

Obama has said many things and then said the exact opposite when it suited him. Like with this stimulus bill. Think ‘Saul Alinsky’ tactics. There is the answer.

[gidget7]

Should is right. This man has been groomed from birth for this, and it is more like a coup d'etat than a win. I doubt his handlers will allow it to touch him.

As Rush would say, elections have consequences, and I would add, the consequences for this one could very well be dire.
